Journal.
Thanks, Bro. Bigham. We often won
dered why this was such a populou
county, but never suspected the real rea
son until we read the above item.-Nel
ULm ReUielD.

remark that Lind has gone to Washing
ton, Bobleter is State Treasurer, Will
Bowen represents Brown county in tn

have their reward.
"A very queer thing for February
weather to produce was the thunder an,
lightning which visited this localit,
Saturday night last. The electric dis
turbance occurred between twelve ant
one o'clock, and while of rather shor
duration, it was particularly noticeable il
Mankato.. The thermometer at the tim,
registered below zero. Near Owatonna
farm house was struck by the light
ming, which shattered the chimney an,
stove but did no further damage.
Representative Champlin of Blu,
Earth, placed himself on record a
every stage of the proceedings on tn
high license question, as favorable to it
defeat, or at least in opposition to ID
81 900 clause. Be it said to the credit O
the balance of the delegation from thi
county that he was the only membe
who failed to support the measure. TIL
Minneapolis Tribune put Mr.. Champli
down-as representing Mankato, but thi
is an error. He neither represents th
city nor the county in his action on tn
license question, and probably no on
knows this fact better than Mr.. Chang
lin himself.
